Vintage Fashion and Jewelry Photoshoot

Brocade, silk, satin, gold, diamonds, enamel...the combination of vintage clothing and jewelry can be intoxicating! We collaborated with photographer Kylene Cleaver of Leave It To Me Photography to pull together an epic styled photoshoot, with a vibrant color story, feminine details, and a modern edge. It all started with the clothing...Like any good photoshoot, hair and makeup were key to bring the story to life. We were lucky enough to partner with Leisa Kanienberg of iMakeupArtistry for vintage inspired makeup, and Lauren Thrailkill from the Velvet Hair Studio for beautiful hair. It was amazing to see them match the hair and makeup so perfectly to the outfits! Lauren of the Velvet Hair Studio preps Diana's hair for major curls Leisa of iMakeupArtistry creates Kathleen's soft makeup look. Once the hair, makeup, and outfits were ready, it was time for us to style the jewelry. We created jewelry sets for each look, with jewelry spanning Victorian times through the 1980's. Our goal was not one set time period, but rather to compliment the colors of the vintage clothing and the personalities of each of the ladies. Lots of bohemian gold pieces were used with Diana's vibrant purple brocade dress. Old Victorian and Art Deco jewelry was used for Cynthia's classic green velvet dress and fur cape look. Then the time came! Kylene worked her magic behind the lens, taking incredible photos of each of the models. Cynthia's look was all about soft lines and draping, and a classic style reminiscent of decades past. Cascading waves finished the look, and her cat eye was on point!

What a day! Thank you to our gorgeous models - strong, amazing and real women - Gina, Diana, Kate, Cynthia and Kathleen. We couldn't have done it without you. Stay tuned on the blog for upcoming styled shoots.
